Hunger Games 30 day challenge:
Today is my last day of doing two challenges a day because of missing the days I was in Georgia. (For more about they 30 day challenges, see the page at the top of this page.)
The first one I have to do today is: something you wish didn't happen in the series. This is a difficult question, and my answer is going to contain some spoilers for the Hunger Games series. I didn't really enjoy the fact that Peeta was hijacked, but I think it was a good move storywise. I don't think I would change it because it would change Mockingjay too much. I enjoyed it as a part of the plot, but I was sad to see Peeta go through that. I also wish Rue, Prim, Finnick, etc. hadn't died, but again, I see why that was important for the story. I'm also not a huge fan of any scene that includes Katniss and Gale kissing. As for something that I hate becase I thought it was unnecessary to the plot, I can't really think of anything.
The second one is: your favorite kiss. I'm going to choose Katniss and Peeta's kiss in the Capitol in Mockingjay. (I always seem to choose scenes from Mockingjay for these things.) I just love that scene (not that I don't love everytime Katniss and Peeta kiss in the series). It's the first time Katniss and Peeta have kissed without having cameras filming them and having to pretend for the Capitol. In case you're interested, here's the scene:
Only one figure stays huddled against the wall. “Peeta,” I say. There’s no response. Has he blacked out? I crouch in front of him, pulling his cuffed hands from his face. “Peeta?” His eyes are like black pools, the pupils dilated so that the blue irises have all but vanished. The muscles in his wrists are hard as metal.Hunger Games news:
“Leave me,” he whispers. “I can’t hang on.”
“Yes. You can!” I tell him.
Peeta shakes his head. “I’m losing it. I’ll go mad. Like them.”
Like the mutts. Like a rabid beast bent on ripping my throat out. And here, finally here in this place, in these circumstances, I will really have to kill him. And Snow will win. Hot, bitter hatred courses through me. Snow has won too much already today.
It’s a long shot, it’s suicide maybe, but I do the only thing I can think of. I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. “Don’t let him take you from me.”
Peeta’s panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging in his head. “No. I don’t want to…”
I clench his hands to the point of ain. “Stay with me.”
His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normality. “Always,” he murmurs.
I just want to briefly say that the Hunger Games movie casting is driving me crazy. That's all I really have to say. I was wondering what you guys think about all of it. I'm not sure how I feel about any of the guys up for the role of Peeta. I wish I could actually see them acting as Peeta. I used to have a huge crush on Josh Hutcherson, but I'm not sure I'd like him as Peeta. I think he's a good actor, it's just that I can't picture him as Peeta. What about you guys?
Harry Potter news:
Apparently Deathly Hallows Part 2 is going to be the shortest Harry Potter film. I guess it makes sense. It is only half of a book. It's still over two hours long though, so it's not a short movie by any means. I just hope it's good.
A few deleted scenes from Deathly Hallows Part 1 have been released on the Internet. I'm strongly attempted to watch them, but I'm forcing myself to wait for the DVD. There's supposed to be one of Ron teaching Hermione how to skip rocks. It sounds so cute! I can't wait to watch them, but I'd much rather watch them on the DVD. That just makes it more special to me. I have no idea if that makes sense to anyone else. Have you guys watch any of them yet?
Someone also leaked the opening scene of Deathly Hallows Part 2 online, but it's already been taken down. (*Slight spoilers* It's apparently of Ollivander and Harry talking about the Elder wand.) It's actually going to be on the Part 1 DVD, but I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it. It's going to be really hard to stop myself once I have the DVD in my hands, but I think it would be a much better idea to wait until I get to see the whole movie. I don't think watching Part 2 would be as epic if I've already seen the first scene of it. What do you guys think?
There was also a test screening of Part 2 today. I'm jealous of the people who got to see it and yet not jealous at the same time. It would be amazing to see the film early, but I wouldn't want to watch it unfinished. It just wouldn't be the same.
Wow, there was a lot of Harry Potter news the past couple of days.
Life:
I had no idea what to title this section, so that will just have to do for now. Honestly, not much happened today. I worked part of the day and got to find yet another cockroach (this one was dead, but I don't think that's much better). I'm trying to enjoy my last two days of spring break. Unfortunately, I have to work for six hours tomorrow. That is not a fun way to spend your last day of spring break (especially if I find another cockroach).
